Kanye West smiles on landing in LA after White Lives Matter controversy ahead of Tucker Carlson chat

Kanye West seemed to be in a jubilant mood as his flight landed in Los Angeles on Thursday.

He didn’t seem too fazed by the widespread controversy that he created days earlier when he sported a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt at his YZY fashion show in Paris, which was widely condemned by fans and fashion industry luminaries and led Adidas to put its relationship with him ‘under review.’

The 45-year-old rap superstar could be seen grinning ear to ear while looking at his phone, as he headed to a meeting with Fox News host Tucker Carlson at his office, according to TMZ.

Kanye initially looked more stone faced as he deplaned in one of his now-standard all-black casual outfits.

He looked comfortable in a nondescript black hoodie, though he kept the hood down in favor of a black baseball cap reading 2023 on the bill, presumably in honor of Yeezy’s Spring 2023 show.

He matched his black jeans to his shirt and wore tall black rain boots, also a staple of his recent style.

Although the Monster rapper has often favored well-maintained facial hair, he now sported a thick beard.

He completed the low-key look with a bulky black backpack with thick straps that he wore slung over one shoulder.
